greg775 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 (edited) QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 08:29 PM) Because if you are negative now with the team 2-1 playing decently, what could actually make you happy during the season? First nitpick over who they keep as the 25th guy, and then when they do use the bench, complain they are using the bench. Every little thing. Why can't you just enjoy the game? It always comes back to but. The Sox won but, he's hitting well and looks like he's improved but, he is pitching well but, to each his own but to me that's kind of miserable. I'm not miserable watching the games. When negative stuff happens and a game thread is going on, it's easy to rail on the negative happenings rather than just wait for the rally. For instance what does it hurt to point out Lawrie, Abreu and several other guys aren't hitting? Edited April 7, 2016 by greg775 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigHurt3515 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 03:31 PM) I don't think his arm strength is top notch right now, but I do think he really was a 90-92 guy his last couple of successful seasons. http://www.fangraphs.com/pitchfxo.aspx?pla...=P&pitch=FA 2013 he was around 91-93 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chitownsportsfan Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 I'm ready for Carlos Sanchez. Never really felt Lawrie was much of an upgrade at 2B. 3B sure but with Frazier that point is moot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never really felt Lawrie was much of an upgrade at 2B. 3B sure but with Frazier that point is moot. I'm not too worried about Lawrie, he has enough of a track record that we know he will hit around 15 home runs and hit .250 or above. He could also be pressing since we are in Oakland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's worth the 3 mill a year probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
